“small Grand Auditorium”, Spruce – Ziricote, made in 2024

Time for new shapes! I developed a new model based on my many times proven Grand Auditorium, but noticeably narrower. This leads to a more handy handling preserving most of the body volume ans so the tonal characteristic of ist larger sibling. The specimen shown is made with a gorgeous set of Ziricote. Further Features are a Florentine Cutaway, a decent Little bevel and the fingerboard Extension with 24 frets for the higher strings. Surely a guitar for a virtuoso Player!
